Arsenals season really and truly begins tomorrow with BVB. We're favorites (and rightfully so), but Dortmund are an excellent side. I think we'll win, but wouldn't be too bummed with a draw. After that though, the fixture list really piles up and gets really tough. Haven't changed my pre-season prediction of a top 3 finish for The Arse, but where they land in that top 3 will be wholly dependent on this next months fixtures, as well as February/March (brutal 6 weeks). We'll see - hard to get too excited just yet - but the football they are playing at the moment is just brilliant.
Agreed on Ramsey as well. Pleased for him to have come through that - the competition for places in MF has really forced everyone to step up their game, and we're seeing the fruits of that every weekend.
Spurs verdict: Surely Benteke would have been a better purchase than Soldado? He scored yesterday yes, but he looks a bit lost to me. Townsend though, has been phenomenal this season. Really like his game.
